Ogre Illusion: No Dance Animation?

Hi:

Was the ogre illusion intended to have the Stomper Kreeg/Moonkin/Farley dance animation? Currently, dancing does nothing. Happy to donate to have donated to the TWoW cause but that's the primary reason I bought the ogre illusion.

Sometimes, I just want to dance, gnomesayin'?

Re: Class changes are coming in Patch 1.15.2

First of all, Druids have a taunt. So there goes the hybrid tank tax, it is not consistent. IMO, bear tanks are slightly OP as well. They at least have a tax in place known as shapeshifting which restricts their other-form abilities. Still a lot of good utility available for Druids considering how ...

Re: Class changes are coming in Patch 1.15.2

It was not intended for paladins to not have a taunt in vanilla. It was a result of the Blizzard devs thinking a tank that could heal and spam taunt would be overpowered. Even though this is not true, you would not be able to heal yourself while tanking a boss in vanilla. Since you think that being...

Warrior should be the best but not the only tank option, which is basically the scenario here, or we wouldn't be having this forum discussion.
The only hybrid tank that needs a boost or gear changes is Shaman. Paladin and bear are fine as hybrid tanks. Either warrior is the best or it's not.
